Had a wonderful and busy week since 10Mar.
Coz of my dear da bing aka Tiff's bdae and my bdae.
Had celebration for consecutive 3 days which make me so high and happy.
Eaten 3 choc cakes and made 3 same wishes.
Appreciate the effort by all my dear frens, darling and family who make me the most happiest person for that week. A BIG thank you!!
And seriously, these efforts have became my source of motivation to hang on till I graduate in Jul 07.

*10th of Mar-Tiff's 23rd Bdae*


Sec sch frens gathering as well! Peicai rocks!

Yummy food. This is my 2nd round!

The 'twist' family. Who has the cutiest twist?

Sorry gal. Your Mr.White received more attention than you on ur big day!


Tipsy Tiff.
Moral of the story: Nv play games involving alcoholic drinks on ur bdae day.

*11th of Mar-My Big Day*

Had lunch with my family at Marine Raffles Club.
My mum was very enthu in celebrating my bdae.
She has booked me one week in advance!!!
Sean was invited too! But he has to leave early to do 'something'.
I somehow know that he was planning something for my special day later in the evening.
Poor darling. He was 'accused' by my parents,who do not know abt anything, for leaving early to meet his 2nd gf.
I din explain to them. I just laughed quietly.

After lunch I went back home to wait for him to pick me up.
He was late. I din get angry coz I know he was busy with that 'something'.
We went to Paris Park as suggested by him.
Paris Park has changed quite alot. There are construction everywhere.
We went to have our dinner at a newly open cafe Mid Summer Nite Breeze which serves nice chinese food.
No service charge + Fresh ingredient + Big portion + Reasonable price = Satisfied and full :)
We were so full that we decided to take a stroll on the beach.
And he started to write on the sand and we played fireworks.

Tired and perspiring, we sat under the coconut tree to watch the stars.
I was getting more and more curious.
He just wont tell what surprises he had for me! humpf..


We sat there until its time to go home.
So he sent me back to his car but ask me to sit at the front seat and wait.
I was asked not to peep or turn my back.
So I sat there obediently, listening attentively on what he was doing 'behind my back'. Haha.
I heard loud banging of seats, removing of plastic bags sound, water flowing sound(???).
He was running busily from one side of his car to the back side of the car.
And I was laughing non stop with my eyes still closed.
While waiting I kept making fun of him by repeatedly saying, "Hor..I am gg to turn my back."
He was so nervous that he replied me in a serious tone, "Pls..Pls..dont turn first.." Haha.

THEN he led me to the back seat of the car with my eyes still closed.

**SURPRISE**
Every small little things that he do now comes into picture.
Purpose of sitting under the coconut tree was to wait for the clock to strike 12.

I was totally amazed that he planned my bdae in such a special way. I was inside his car!
I requested for a Cantonese Bdae Song and he really sang for me. *blushed*

He ordered dark choc cake for me coz he knew I like dark choc!
Hooray I am only one year old. The cake shop gave the wrong nos of candles la!

The next thing I know, the bouquet of roses was already in my hand.

I was speechless! I din expect it at all but I did hope for it.
Its my fave colour-purple!!!

We had some sparkling juice after that.
He even bought his own wine glass and self-made mini fridge to keep the bottle chilled.
**He melts my heart with all the things that he did**
**I was very touched that night**

12th of Mar-My Actual Bdae

I was on my way to tuition when Tiff's msg me to ask whether I am free.
I know she was gg to celebrate my bdae with me.
So I pretend to dun know anything and replied yes.
I called her after my tuition. She told me ah mei and yaya wont be coming.
But there will be a shen mi jia bing.
So I called ah mei and yaya immediately to find out the mystery person.
But to my dismay, it neither ah mei or yaya.
I gave up finding and went to eat my dinner first at her hse kopitiam.

I gave her a call when I was done.
She told me she was at home and promise to bring down my things for me.
I din suspect anything.
I asked her to meet me at the kopitiam but she said meet at the park there.
So I walked to the park and on my way there I met the mystery person-Fuwei!!
I asked where is Tiff but Fuwei asked me not to probe and wait in the park.
After a while, Tiff's appeared with carriers in her hands.
She came from Hougang pt not her hse!

AND we hv a simple yet heart warming celebration... and chit chat session

The cake will finish eating.
The flowers will wither and die.
The happy times will finally end.
But the memories will stay forever.
Thank you for giving me all the happy memories.
Love u guys!! =)

Dun understand why I am having this very bad headache recently.
My head is spinning as though there is a mini earthquake in my body.
The headache makes me wan to puke and my stomach feels bloated.

Expected my project discussion to end ard 5.30pm.
But it ended at 4.40pm.
I cant make make up my mind whether to go home or stay in sch until 5.30pm.
Coz I am meeting my dear gals at 7pm at amk the new shopping mall.
In the end I decided to stay in sch to use the computer.
Checking of email, reading blog and blogging.

It seems so weird to meet at amk.
Coz all the while we hv been meeting at hougang hall or town area.
Anyway I hv not been to the amk hub so its a good idea!
Plus I will be the first to reach home tonight.
U nv know it is so depressing to be the last one to reach home everytime. haa

This week is the most busiest week in sch.
Coz the dateline for fyp 1st draft for most students is next week.
For my faculty, it is on the 13th of Mar.
Everywhere I walked, in the canteen, lift and benches I could hear people discussing about fyp.
The most talked topic during lunch now is fyp.
When I met my frens in sch, the first qns that we asked is fyp.
I really need to buck up coz I am getting stress when I see everyone is harding so hard for the report.

I had a presentation this morning.
Yest I was complaining to Moo during Yoga class.
Frankly speaking I hate presentation/public speaking becoz I hv stage fright.
But I am very satisfied with my performance today.
I managed to overcome the stage fright and calm myself down.
I made it! I made it! MoOOOOO..
Each speaker is given a maximum of 4 mins to present.
I spoke too fast. I think my speech lasts for only 2 mins.


Comments from the tutor:
Good professional approach. (I think becoz I made my objectives very clear at the beginning)
Reduce reading from notes. (I was reading practically every words from my script but I got maintain eye contact with the audience)
With that, I was graded with B. =)

Today I was scolded by my tuition kid's grandma.
Coz my P4 tuition kid failed his Math and Science test.
He got 31 out of 100 for both. *faint
And he was still very proud of his results.
Becoz he told me he got the highest marks among those failed students. *faint
I only started teaching him for one month plus.
His grandma's words makes me realised that I have lost my passion for teaching.
Now I only teach for only one reason--that is $$$.
Haiz..Need to do some self reflection.

I am looking forward to my fri, sat and sun.
My weekends are packed and happening.
Fri-Gazeboo gathering
Sat-Tiff's bdae party
Sun-Lunch with parents and meeting Sean in the evening

I like it when my timetable is packed in the sense that I am busy with my own personal stuffs.

This year Tiff is organising her own bdae celebration so that means I will be less busy.
I am so getting used to preparing her bdae celebration for the last two yrs with A*mei, Yaya and Tiff's frens.
Thinking hard what to get for her bdae, coming up with those stupid surprise, pulling in her frens and bro to share bdae present when I dun even know them well.
Will be missing her and those memories when she fly to korea.

I have a new resolution starting from this year.
I am going to donate blood every year on my bdae.
I got to thks xf, my ntu mates for asking me to acc her to donate blood last year.
In the end, she din donate at all becoz she was underweight.
So its the other way round instead.
It feels good to be able to save lives even tho you may not know who u are saving.
Instead of hearing those scary stories about thick needles, why not come forward to experience it.
One thing to emphasize, it is NOT painful at all!
FYI:
There is one blood donation drive at punggol park CC on 31st Mar, sun 10am-4pm.
Experience it!

<< Busy day >>

I am waiting to go for my Yoga lesson which starts at 7.30pm.
Today is the last lesson and my attendance is 5/8.
Came back home from school at 6.30pm.
Took out my contact lenses and washed my face to freshen up.
Decided to blog since I got time to spare.
Coz the CC is just a few metres away from my hse. Hee..
If only ntu is so near!

Finally found someone in ntu who is as sway as me.
Met Elida,my jc fren, on last mon in sch canteen.
Have not been seeing her for quite some time ever since we specialise in different engineering faculty.
The first qns that we asked is FYP and dateline of the first draft report!
And from there I found out that her dateline for the first draft is the day after her bdae.
Which is exactly the same situation as me!
Both of us just laughed bitterly.

Have not started on my report yet.
I am procastinating...dragging..duno how to start..
I hv caught yaya's disease.
Struggling hard to tell myself to get over once and for all.
Arghhhhhhh..

Its time for Yoga!!!
MoO, here I come. haha.

<< Finally>>

I have been blogging every now and then, it just that the entry never get posted everytime. I always dun feel like posting it up after I typing a long entryand I just switched off my com. Haa..thats why it is not updated. I hope after I had finished typing my entry, I 'feel' like posting it!

Haiz..my 1 week holiday has come to an end. Actually this is the best holiday ever because it falls on the week after CNY="quite" long holiday. And this will be the last sch term break I get to enjoy. I am going to graduate in two more months!! Going to be four years soon. Just two more steps to Mount Engineering, grab the flag, hold it high up, wave and shout I have made it! Started this course in Yr2003. I feel that I have aged!!!


Regarding my fyp, I have a GOOD news to share. The solution has been found(of course not by me) and from the 30% completion, it shot up to 70% completion. I have finished all my experimental work during the holi and the remaining 30% is report writing. I hope so. I feel so blessed to have all the kind soul around me whenever I am stuck with all the engineering related shit.
Yeah! Goodbye to cleanroom.
I finally met up with Tiff, A*mei and Yaya. I thought the gathering will be cancelled because everything screwed up last min and due to some miscommunication. Everyone arrived late(near midnight) but it is better than not coming. Thanks for the effort for making ur way down to my house. But the gathering soon turned into a fun gambling session with more and more people joining.
I was totally amazed by the these group of frens who can stay awake until 6.30am gambling non stop without yawning. I gave up in the middle of the night and sat there stoning, looking at the pile of coins moving from one end of the table to the other end and back to the original owner again. My stomach was grumbling the whole night but I couldnt eat any of the goodies thanks to sickening cough and flu. I was coughing like a grandmother the whole night. Sorry gals if i hv passed the virus to u. Hee.
This time I feel like posting it. ;P
